how can I explain to my daughter how to work this problem ou20. Chelsea makes $11.15 an hour working at Dr. Daleson's Car Clinic. She plans to buy a camera, whch costs $353.10. Write and solve an inequality describing how many hours h Chelsea will have to work to be able to buy the camera. (1 point)t? Been out of school for 22 yrs...

Answer 1

First step is to declare a variable name for the unknown. Here, the number of hours. Call it H.

Amount earned = hourly rate times H
Amount minimum to be earned = $353.10

Rest should be straightforward.

Answer 2

Okay, so it's $11.5 * a certain number of hours, and this has to be greater than or equal to 353.10, because that would be the only way to purchase it.

[11.5h>=353.10] which simplifies to h>=30.70
